Cooper Kids books by Frank Peretti? I did a couple of years ago, and I thought they were pretty fun to read. I think my favorite book was the The Desert Stone or Tombs Of Anak. Does anyone know if any new ones are out?

Last I heard, there were only six of them.

It kind of irritated me that a decade passed between 3 and 4, and the kids did not age.

I have read a fair number of the books, a long time ago. Personally I prefer his adult novels better, but they were not bad for children's books. As far as I know the series ended as Icarus stated.

My favorite book would probably be the Tombs Of Anak.

The only one I don't have as I remember, is the Deadly Curse of Toko-Rey. What is it about?

I've read about half of them. They weren't as good as his adult novels but they were good. Has anyone ever read The Accidental Detectives by Sigmund Brouwer? A pretty good kids adventure series also.

no I haven't read that series. I'm reading his Mars' Diaries series though.

Sorry, I haven't seen this thread in a while so I never saw your question until now, oro!girl. Jacob Cooper takes Jay and Lila to Central America where some treasure hunters have become victims of the deadly curse already. They went to solve the mystery as to what the curse was and all that good stuff.

I had help from the back of the book there.

He's got some good stuff. I really liked his Angel series and "The Visitation". And "Tombs of Anak" was my fav cooperkids.

Also read some of the "Accidental Detectives" but it was along time ago and can't remember anything about them :)

I and my sister read those stories. One night, after reading the opening chapters of The Legend of Annie Murphy, just as we were about to go to bed, we read aloud the section about Annie's Eery cries. That was what I went to sleep on. Needless to say this was a set up for bad things to happen.

Well, I woke up in the middle of the night to hear a wailing cry ringing out in the hall. I froze up, and lay there, stiff as a board, for probably ten minutes. Finally, I heard my mom say "Honey-- Mike! Wake up! You're having a dream and you're murmurring in your sleep. . ."

I should have known better than to read Peretti before I went to bed. . .

I know what you mean. I remember reading the Tombs of Anak at night... and it took me a while to get to sleep. I just kept thinking of that bull thing coming after me.
